One is legal murder and the other is illegal murder? You can't have it both ways. Irregardless whether a mother wants a doctor to do it, or whether a prowler breaks into her home and night and does it
Many on the Pro choice side object to fetal homicide laws
Then maybe that imbecilic twit should learn to keep her damn legs closed.

If you don't want a living being growing in you, simply don't have sex. It's that simple.
Is it that simple?
I read about a horrible case in Paraguay where a 10 year old child was impregnated by her step-father and is being forced to bring the pregnancy to term.
Doesn't seem to matter how much harm this may inflict on this child's body or mental state.
I guess that will teach her for not keeping her legs closed, huh?
Of course they do, plenty of science to back it up.
Doesn't matter to the sick sonsabitches though that can gleefully chomp their way thru an lunch casually taking about harvesting the organs and tissues of the little murdered souls.
Slavery used to be the law of the land at one point. Sanctioned murder of innocent fetuses and harvesting their flesh for profit is the current law De rigueur.
Actually, selling body parts is still illegal. They can be donated, with the consent of the donor, but not sold just because they're lying around.
Please bare in mind, not everyone who is pro-choice is invested in anything Planned Parenthood or it's employees think, do, or say.

Ehh...
Pulling the plug with medical consent isn't murder despite that being one person literally shutting down what keep another person alive. However, if some random lunatic broke into random hospital rooms and shut off people's life support, that would be murder, despite the action and outcome being exactly the same in both situations.
Intent does matter. Even in murder. It's why we have different degrees of murder, as well as a manslaughter charge.
Ok, thanks for elaborating, though I kinda disagree that you'd remember feeling the pain. I don't remember "feeling" any type of specific pain from like before age 5, though it's obvious I, like everyone else did.
If you don't remember it, likely didn't happen, or its irrelevant if it happened, isn't it.
It doesn't mean that a fetus doesn't feel pain. While being aborted or birthed.
"Remembering" isn't the point.
So really, what is your point?
So if you don't remember seeing one, or no one else has ever remembered seeing one, a Fairy or Unicorn may still exist, because you assume so?
Perhaps you should tell us what your "Point" is and what you base your opinions on, besides a Religious belief? Always open to some facts here, so throw a few our way, as to what you have as a fact, to substantiate your claims?
